Humidity control, tissue retraction and restorative procedures for non-carious cervical lesions - absolute isolation: the key of success
Scientific Programme (On Demand)
Session Description
Humidity control, tissue retraction and restorative procedures for non-carious cervical lesions - absolute isolation: the key of success
Non carious cervical lesions are presenting more and more frequently in young patients and as we know they have a varied etiology. Then it is important for the clinician to know how to diagnose it and also know when it is necessary to restore it with and adhesive and conservative approach. As we know this kind of restorations have a low retention rate compared to other types of direct adhesive restorations,
and one of the possible reasons for this is the difficulty that many clinicians have in controlling the humidity and tissue retraction of the cervical areas, especially in the posterior teeth.
The correct use of absolute isolation could improve the prognosis of these restorations as well as avoid damage to the periodontium.

Learning Objectives
- Diagnosis of the NCCL’s, when to restore it and selection of the restorative technique.
- Know the different absolute isolation techniques, specially the Four Steps Technique, and the correct selection of the clamps for the management of clinical situations in contemporary Restorative Dentistry and Oral Rehabilitation
- Knowledge and management of auxiliary methods for tissue retraction such as: controlled retraction clamps, dental floss and Teflon tape for access and restoration of cervical areas.
